42 SmartLock
SmartLock enables parents to prevent their children from
watching inappropriate material on TV.
SmartLock reads the ratings for programming (except for
news and sports programs, unedited movies on premium
cable channels, and Emergency Broadcast System signals),
then denies access to programming if the program’s rating
meets or exceeds the limitations you select. The ratings are
defined on page 45.
To block ratings, follow the steps below.
• If the “Incorrect Access Code...”
message appears after step 3,
enter the correct access code.
• Programming may be rated by the
Motion Picture Association of
America (MPAA) or according to
the Television Parental Guidelines.
In order to block any inappropri-
ate programming, set your limits
in both places (Movie Ratings and
Parental Guidelines).
You will complete steps 1-7 twice,
choosing Movie Ratings at step 5
the first time, then choosing
Parental Guidelines at step 5 the
second time.
• You cannot view tape playback if
the rating of the tape is blocked.
• If you enter the access code once,
you may change channels without
seeing the “CHANNEL XX
BLOCKED” message again. If you
turn off the TV/VCR power, you
will be asked for the access code
again when you tune to a blocked
channel.
